The sixth-ranked Framingham boys’ soccer team came back from two goals in a Bay State Conference road game, tying No. 8 Wellesley, 2-2.

The Flyers (11-1-1) went down in the 12th minute, after Wellesley put pressure on the Framingham goal and won a free kick just outside the penalty box. Wellesley senior center back Ryan Stuntz took the free kick quickly before Framingham set up and sent it in the bottom righthand corner of the net, giving the home team a 1-0 lead.

Just 11 minutes later, the Raiders (8-1-2) took a corner kick. Framingham’s goalkeeper punched the ball away, but Raiders’ junior midfielder Sooyoung Kim looped a shot over the Framingham defense and into the net. The Raiders went into halftime up, 2-0.

The Flyers found a way to battle back in the second half. In the 53d minute, junior captain Bryant Nardizzi dribbled through a number of Wellesley defenders before laying off the ball to junior forward Vinny Matias. Matias shot from a tight angle and the ball went in off the far post, cutting Wellesley’s lead to 2-1.

The Flyers weren’t done. After the visitors started moving forward more often in the second half, senior midfielder Lorran Cancado received a pass from Flyers’ senior Igor Lemos. Cancado, who had a strong game in central midfield, put the ball onto his favored left foot and hit a shot into the bottom right corner to tie the game at 2-2.

Neither side could find a winner after Cancado’s goal. Despite the comeback, Framingham coach Danny Avery was frustrated with his team’s reaction after allowing the first goal.

“I’m just disappointed that we had a controversial call go against us and we completely lost our composure,” said Avery.

North Andover 7, Andover 2 — The No. 3 Knights (13-0) scored four goals in the first 15 minutes of the first half.
